Driving
in busy expressways like the Interstate 540 can be tricky, especially
during the late afternoon rush hour. You may be running late to pick
up your kids from their soccer practice or a movie date with your
romantic partner and boom! Next thing you know, you’ve rear-ended
the vehicle in front of you whose driver, like you, is running late
for something.
The
first thing to remember when involved in a collision—no matter how
minor it may seem—is to seek medical attention for both you and the
other people involved in the accident. Thus, as soon as you can, pull
over to a safe spot and dial 911 or any medical rescue team you know
of assigned to your area. While waiting for medical professionals to
arrive, you and the other drivers can exchange insurance and contact
information.
At
this point, it’s critical to refrain from making apologies or
anything similar like, “I should have looked at the road more
attentively.” Any statement of such nature can be considered as you
admitting fault in the accident, which can be used against you when
you seek compensation from the insurance provider. At this stage,
it’s best to file for a personal injury claim with the help of a
qualified personal injury lawyer.
